Alon Bar-Lev commented on MNG-6586:
-----------------------------------
> how about activating a different settings with {{--settings,-s <arg>}} or
> {{--global-settings,-gs <arg>}} ?
Had maven would have supported multiple settings, this would have been an
option... I do not mind to specify -gs gs.xml -s s.xml -s proxy.xml, however,
as far as I know this is not possible.
The issue is that proxy (and mirrors) are environmental setting, and are set on
top of the build settings.
If we reopen the entire subject, it is unclear why the system setting proxy
(via http*_proxy_* is not honored by maven... this would have made usage so
much easier... as you can notice in MNG-6401, using environment variable is
preferred method.
> Allow proxy activation based on profile

> Hello,
> In setting reference[1] it is written:
> {quote}
> |{{proxies/[proxy|https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.6.0/maven-settings/settings.html#class_proxy]*}}|{{List<Proxy>}}|*(Many)*
> Configuration for different proxy profiles. Multiple proxy profiles might
> come in handy for anyone working from a notebook or other mobile platform, to
> enable easy switching of entire proxy configurations by simply specifying the
> profile id, again either from the command line or from the defaults section
> below.|
> {quote}
> So it should be possible to enable/disable proxy based on a profile. However,
> there is no instructions of how to do that.
> Adding <active>${property}</active> automatically disables the entry, even if
> property is set to true, I verify this using help:effective-settings. I could
> not find any property that can make any difference.
> I see many people have tried and failed, and based on the above documentation
> it seems like either missing documentation or an actual bug.
> Please allow that, as multiple setting.xml are not supported and
> enable/disable proxy is required for a single CI settings.xml.
> Thanks!
